I have a 98 ford ranger. Its in terrible cosmetic conditon. The transmission is acting up and the clutch wont disengage. I dont know how to get rid of it. I would like to get enough money to buy a tow package for my other vehicle. Any ideas
Thanks

1) Post a free ad on Craigslist. Ask a reasonable price based on similar years and models that are advertised. If you want it gone quick, knock a couple hundred bucks off the asking price.

2) Call your local auto wreckers. Depending on what scrap metal is worth in your area, you might get up to $300

Ayuh,... That's probably just the Hyd. clutch linkage system leakin', not the actual transmission...
Is there any fluid in the master,..??

For gettin' rid of it,... craigslist is a Great idea....
Keep droppin' the price,+ Somebody will buy it...

If the clutch issue is just a simple fix (hydrolic master cylinder???)
fix it, or you can expect to take a bigger loss due to the tranny issue.

I got $300 for a 90 F-150 that we had to tow to the junkyard. Tranny was shot and a lot of other problems... and I was very happy!

I'm getting ready to haul my old 1990 dodge plow truck to the local scrapyard. I don't have a title and they said they'd give me $250-300.
I need to remove the Western plow setup first.
